Okay @drfernriddell.bsky.social please pitch 6ft Lady Music Hall Wrestler Suffragettes Gang drama to anyone you know in TV, hire me (historical consultant AND 6FT LADY WRESTLER) and lets make our millions 💪🏻
Even the French were intrigued by your Miss May:

"No woman has yet taken up this challenge, and Miss May waits, while the policemen who hear about her wonder what would become of them if they had to expel from the House of Commons a few suffragettes of this stature."

YouGov find just 30% of people think we were right to leave the EU. The lowest number yet.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

1 The Mothership teaches English to refugees. She was telling us today that she visited one of her first students for a meal, and his family now here as well. They very proudly said that they'd claimed benefits for the minimum time possible and were working full time as soon as they were able to.

Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From ‘biggest crowd ever’ to ‘normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.

A thread: I write today from holiday in France where I am vacationing. Today I arrived at an AirBnb in a small hilltop village where the bookshelf held a book, entitled "Communism, Fascism, and Democracy," by Carl Cohen first published in 1962. Of course, I immediately turned to the fascism part 1/?

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”
